Opunabo Inko-Tariah, a public affairs analyst, has asked Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara to make it clear that he wants to run for re-election.
Inko-Tariah, who used to be the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike’s Special Adviser on Media, spoke in Port Harcourt on Friday and asked why there had been so little political activity in the state before next year’s general election.
He said that politicians and political parties in the state were not doing enough to get ready for the elections.
He said that what he called “state capture” was to blame for the situation, saying that powerful groups were affecting how politics worked.
But he said the governor should use the support he still has in the state to make his plans clear.
Inko-Tariah said, “The primaries are coming up.” The sad thing is that this man (Fubara) will win even if Mr. President doesn’t agree with him in a free and fair election because he still has organic support.
“His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, should run because he has the support of the people.” The people of Rivers are firmly behind him.
“And I also believe that the All Progressive Congress national is strongly behind him based on the bits of information I’ve put together.Fubara doesn’t need anyone’s help to win a fair and free election. “All he needs is the support of the people.”
Inko-Tariah said he was worried that the people’s will might not win out in the 2027 elections in the state. He said that candidates could be forced on the people.
